I doubt that many promotors are going to be in a position to "Bid" on USAC or any other type of races next year. H$ll, the way things are going, I'll be happy if we have racing next summer.

I agree. And if tracks have to bid for races, paying more than the normal USAC fee, where do you think that money will come from?

I also heard that during midget week that Brownstown may replace the debacle at Liberty

from what i heard from a reliable source, brownstowns promoters were not even invited to the sprint week meeting, so dont look for anything to happen there this year

Thats a shame, I thought they put on a good show last spring. The track prep was MUCH better than the open sprint show they had the year before.

From what I understand THAT will be back for ISW, no more two night shows and as someone else posted no Brownstown ISW date.Anyone care to go out on a limb and "predict" next years ISW dates?

I agree Spridge. Sprintweek is a bastion for locals but is no longer drawing the Cali teams ect based on the general USAC purse. If a couple tracks could pull off some 10G to win durring that week, It might even be able to pull in some winged guys and a couple more Western Teams to come east. Id love to see Sprintweek count for USAC/CRA points as well since there is no longer a Midwest Tour.
Those were great races
